Different calibers and different guns have different uses. You need to know exactly what you want to be ready for when you stock up. "Seriously sour" could mean that they did a sweeping gun ban and you wanted to be able to still have enough to target shoot and hunt, or it could be that you are worried about a Red Dawn scenario of sorts.
While I think it goes without saying to stock up on .22 ammo and have a reliable .22, a bigger caliber is always good to have. For an all around decent round that you can use for a variety of things, I think a .357 lever gun/revolver combo is a nice way to go. You can stock up on many thousands of primers, and if you had to, get by on home made black powder and scrounged lead bullets. It's ideal for little to nothing besides maybe brush hunting deer or smaller game, but it is capable of doing a lot.
